Great little feature of the game. AFAIK, You can call Roman to initiate a conversation:

When he sends Niko his first text message after "It's Your Call" "I've got my hands full with these charming money-lenders"After "Jamaican Heat", to initiate Roman's taxi missionsAfter "Concrete Jungle", to discuss working with Little JacobAfter "Logging On", to unlock Brucie's Exotic ExportsAfter Faustin's mission, "Rigged to Blow", to unlock Brucie's story missionsAfter Elizabeta's "Have a Heart", to discuss the characters Niko met in BohanAfter Packie's "Three Leaf Clover", as statedAfter Ray's "Museum Piece", to weave a tale of woeAfter Phil Bell's "Truck Hustle"After Jimmy Peg's first mission, "Pegorino's Pride"After "I'll Take Her" for the McReary's, to chew over the finer points of kidnappingAfter "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend"; another lengthy, amusing oneAfter Jon Gravelli's "Entourage"After Pegorino's "Pest Control", to waffle over Niko's heavy heart

* You'll get a Roman convo after doing an activity with Brucie, too.* Killing Playboy X or Dwayne will unlock a conversation, but triggering it depends on how you play through, as Roman's typically getting himself kidnapped at this point.* Completing a first date with Alex, Carmen or Kiki will unlock a conversation that will differ, depending on whether Niko was single, or attached to someone else while on the date.

Yes, that first conversation is easy to get (the one in which Roman asks Niko to meet him at the club). All you have to do is kill Vlad (in 'Uncle Vlad') and either place a call to Roman or wait for a bit - around three minutes of actual game time, wherein Roman will call you. This opens the way for the missions with Faustin and Dimitri.

I've never heard this bean machine conversation in-game. It is funny though...especially the angry call by Roman about being attacked with some scissors
